WORDS OF COMFORT.

'HE CHOSE THIS PATH FOR THEE"
He chose this path for thee,
No feeble chance, nor hard relentless fate,
But love, His love, had placed thy footsteps here
He knew the way was rough and desolate,
Knew how thy heart would often sink with fear;
Yet tcndery he whispered, Child. see
This path is best for thee"
He chose this path for thee.
Though well He knew sharp thorns would tear
thy feet,
Knew how the brambles would obstruct the way,
Knew all the hidden dangers thou would'st meet,
Knew how thy faith would falter day by day,
And still the whisper echoed, YES, | see
This path is best for thee.
He chose this path for thee,
And well He knew that thou must tread alone
Its gloomy wales and ford each flowing stream !;
knew how thy bleeding heart would sobbng
moan,
"Dtar Lord, to wake and find it all dream"
Love scanned 1t ali, yet still could say, II see
This path is best for me-
He chose this path for thee
Fen while He knew the fearful midnight gloom
Thy timid, shrinking soul must travel through :;
How towering cliffs would oft before thee loom,
And phantoms grim would meet thy frightened
view.
Still comes the whisper, MY beloved, 1 see
This path is best for thee"
He chose this path for thee,
What necd'st thou more? This sweeter truth to
know,
That all along these strange. bewildering ways
y or rocky sleeps and where dark rivers flow,
His loving arms will bear thee "all the days"
a few steps more, and thou thyself shall see
This path is best for thee

The "Pog0ninn OF NaYada.

"Pogonip" is said to be the name given by
the mountaineers Of Nevada to asort of froz-
en- fog that appears sometimes in winter, even
on the clearest and brightest of days. In an

the lungs. When it comes people rush TO
cover. The Indians dread it as much as the
whites 1t appears to be caused by the sud-
den freezing In the air of the moisture which
collects about the submits of the high peaks.

Shrewd New York Judge.

The man declared that the watch was his,
and the woman was mistaken in identifying
itas hers. Suddenly the judge asked, Where
is the key?"
The prisoner fumbled in his pockets and
said he must have left it at home.
The judge asked him if he had wound the
watch frequently with the key and he said
eyes"
Then key was procured, watch and key
were banded the prisoner, and he was told TO
wind the watch. He opened the case, but
could not find any place to use the key, be-
cause the watch was a stemwinder.
The sentence was five years and a-half.

The Nations NOblemen.
God bless the honest laborer,
The hoary son of toll,
The worker in the Gathering mills,
The deliver of tho soil"


The true kings of a nation are its producers
Its farmers and mechanics. Though rough,
and often uneducated, they bear upon their
honest brows the "Ioyal stamp and seal of
God;" and their drops of sweat are worthier
"than diamonds in coronet." Without them
the pride and glory of nation would be
gone. Nay, more. Blot out the farming in
terest, and at one fell blow you utterly des-
troy the national existence. Do away with
the mechanics, and you destroy cities, towns,
railroads, factories, navigation, and the en-.
tire commerce of the continent. All honor,
then, to our noble working menl We never
strike hands with one without feeling that
we touch the hand of a nations nobleman-
''The noblest men that live on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll,
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main.
God bless them for their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

The Maxim Gun.

1t will be no very startling piece of news
to the average Bridgeporter that Mr.. Stan
ley relies largely for ultimate success in the
great expedition which he is now about to
head, upon the invention of an American
mechanic, and that that mechanic was at one
time Bridgeport man. We refer to Henry
S. Maxim, inventor of the Maxim electric
light and hundred other things. and finally
of gun which fires 700 shots a minute
which Mr.. Stanley is to take with him as the
peace maker of his expedition. Mr.. Stanley
is like General Grant in some respects, and
never knowingly underestimate the force
required to do effectively the work in hand.
He knows it Is cheaper and more humane to
kill 600 men minute and then have done
with the killing, than to kill one a minute
for week or month. Stanley, too, has been
accused of being a butcher" as Grant was,
because he insists upon obedience and
quelled rebellion with his ready revolver.
But he knew his men and the needs of the
situation and never wasted powder and ball
unnecessarily. If the stories told of the
Maxim gun are half true it is wonderful
invention and will let some sort of light into
Africa, if it gets chance. The principle of
the gun is a curious one, the rec0il of one
discharge being used to recock the gun and
fire the next, so that. once started, it goes on
cooking and firing itself till something breaks
or the ammunition gives out. 1t is maga-
zine gun, and the hopper once filled with car
tridges, the gun pointed and started, it con-
tinues to fire even If every man leaves it or
is killed. Mr.. Maxim's idea was to mount
the gun between two solid, convex steel
wheels, which by a continuance of his were
drawn together in front of the gun in action
making a steel breastwork behind which the

The conduct the administration in regard
to the coast survey has not been to its cred
1t. and the criticisms of Senator Allison and
Senator Hawley were justified. Undoubted-
ly there was sufficient reason for asking the
resignation Of the late superintendent who
though formerly an honor to the service, had
through misfortune become ncapacited for
its proper conduct But the raid which was
made upon the officials in general was en-
tirely without excuse Men made famous by
their scientific attainments throughout this
country and Europe, whose honor and hon
esty were never questioned, were paraded be-
fore the country as embezzlers and sauan
derers of public property for some trivial
technical infractions of law, and the Impress
ion was given to the people that the service
was nest of corruption and fraud. The
only object Of this performance was to make
little political capital. 1t was indecent and
dishonest, and its effect was to break down
service which had been regarded with pride
by every intelligent man who was acquaint-
ed with its work. At the head of that SER
vice now is not scientist, but a treasury
Jerk. And the administration insists on
~eeping him there in spite of the protests of
scientific men who know how bad misfit he
is. AS Senator Allison says it would be bet
ter to abolish the service altogether than to
thus degrade it.

A letter appeared in yesterdays Argus
from Judge Enoch Knight declining the re-
nomination for Mayor, to which he was en-
titled by party usage, and which would haye
been accorded him had he been willing to
accept 1t. The withdrawal of Judge Knight
leaves the field tolerably clear for the Hon.
John W. Deering, who has been working a
still hunt for the nomination for some
time. Mr.. Deering has been credited
with the purpose of getting a NOM
ination from the laboring men and then
using 1t as club to compel the Democrats
to accept him. The kidSglove wing of the
Democracy do not relish the programme,
but Capt Chase and the ''boys" are said to
be enlisted in favor Of the movement and
are already working like beavers in Mr..
Deering's interest. If Mr.. Deering gets the
nomination II is understood he will pose as
the especial champion of the proposition to
put the soldiers monument in Market
Square and the especial opponent of uncover
ing the horse car tracks in winter This
last plank in his platform seems little in
consistent with his love for the workingman,
-inasmuch as it is the nabobs who own horses
who are the chief opponents of uncover
ing the tracks in winter, but inconsistency
is not new failing in candidates. Mr..
Deering's attitude on the rum question
and the matter of Salvation Army parades
is not yet announced, but undoubtedly he
will take strong ground on one side or the
other of both of them.

The Maine Board of Agriculture, and
Its Secretsry.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
Within the past few weeks public atten-
tion has been called to one of the leading
State officials, through a personal attack
made by one of our leading stock breeders.
The selection of Hon. H. A. Gilbert as Sec
retary, was made at the request of the best
farmers of Maine He has now held the po-
sition number of years. long enough for the
farmers to know the man and his methods
He was first selected for the position because
he was known to be a careful, conservative,
systematic farmer. AS secretary of the board
he would be expected to suggest, if not di-
rect, the general thought upon Agricultural
subjects. During all these years Mr.. Gilbert
has earnestly sought to lead farm work into
safe channels, and encourage that line of
breeding that would give the surest returns
In doing this he has been obliged to contend
with two elements. There has been class
of farmers anxious to find the short road to
wealth, who naturally have been caught
with the attractive presentation OF new theo-
ries, and have counted the secretary a slow
coach, because he did not give at once a
hearty endorsement. On the other hand we
have the ambitious breeder who can see no
merit save in his own stock, and who would
oblige the State to publicly endorse his hob
Dl. DCbMCcu buCoC IWO CuIICubc LLt DOdTu
of Agriculture is obliged to steer its craft
and maintain, at all times, safe position.
Whatever goes out to the public through
the report of the Board, has the sanction Of
the State, and must exert a powerful intiu-
ence upon its agriculture No one can deny
the truth of these statements, yet, if accept
ed, they constitute the strongest possible evil
denee the Board could have of the wisdom
OF ltS selection as a secretary. 1t will be
found that the leaders in this attack ON Mr..
Gilbert, are either ambitious office seekers,
or hobby-riding breeders who have not been
able to control his public utterances. The
very, elements that render him safe leader
LOT the farmers to cling to, are those most
opJected TO by this other class. Because he
does not bend to their wishes they would
clear the way for one who would be as putty
In their hands. Farmers of Maine, let us
stand by our secretary, and demand of the
State that II leave the management of its
agricultural matters to the farmers who con-
stltute the Board of Agriculture.
